Our Property Disputes team has extensive experience across the full spectrum of property-related conflicts.
From joint venture and conveyancing disputes to trespass, party wall and developer claims, and from professional negligence and rectification matters to all aspects of landlord and tenant issues, including breaches of covenant, possession, service charge disputes, business lease renewals and dilapidations, our team is equipped to handle even the most complex cases.
Our approach is rooted in achieving commercially sound outcomes for our clients. While litigation is sometimes unavoidable, we always explore cost-effective and pragmatic solutions. Known for being straightforward and tenacious, our team combines deep technical expertise in real estate litigation with a reputation for clarity and results. This has earned us a high level of referrals from surveyors, accountants and fellow legal professionals.
We act for a diverse client base including landlords, tenants, national retailers, developers, local authorities and individual property investors. Our clients range from major PLCs to SMEs and private individuals. This breadth of experience gives us valuable insight into the priorities and procedures of both large organisations and individuals, and our balanced representation of landlords and tenants provides a tactical edge in negotiations and disputes.
Where necessary we can call upon specialist knowledge of our Construction team and the wider Property team.
